    Planned 387 and 377 cascades to Southern and Southeastern in 2025

    There’s been posters up at Tunbridge wells and high brooms stations, official ones from southeastern, saying “new trains coming soon” with pics of 377s. So they are, or were, planned for Tunbridge wells services

    Stansted airport

    Hey guys, I’m due to fly from Stansted airport in a couple of weeks, does anybody know if there’s a shortcut in the terminal to avoid the lengthy walk around all the duty free shops and go straight to the departure lounge? I’m gonna be timing it tight and I wanna get through as quick as possible!

    Should TfL Consider building a 3rd Platform at Highbury and Islington?

    Confirmed : HS2 West Midlands-Manchester line to be scrapped and replaced with other projects.

    Many of the rail schemes listed as going ahead have been through cost analysis and reports before and they’ve all failed as not having a high enough cost to benefit ratio. What’s changed now?? 80% of these schemes will never happen.
